Scenes with Rory, Amy and Mels but not the Doctor would, I think, have been good, especially if they'd been arranged so they didn't make us (the audience) wonder '''why '''this best friend somehow never met the Doctor. Given that a fascination with the Doctor is very much part of the character, that might have been difficult (but surely not beyond the convoluted wit of Steven Moffat). Prolonging the interval between her meeting the Doctor and trying to kill him, on the other hand, would simply raise the question of why she didn't try earlier. It would also risk making the Doctor seem slow on the uptake if he didn't figure out who she was fairly quickly. The real-world answer is probably that Nina Toussaint-White either wasn't available for long enough or would have been too expensive (or a bit of both). --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.50.177|2.101.50.177]] 00:09, September 6, 2011 (UTC) | Scenes with Rory, Amy and Mels but not the Doctor would, I think, have been good, especially if they'd been arranged so they didn't make us (the audience) wonder '''why '''this best friend somehow never met the Doctor.

Additional thought: Keeping Mels from meeting the Doctor without alerting the audience might have worked if a (seemingly) comedic point had been made of this "Doctor-obsessed" friend wanting to meet him but somehow always just missing him. Later, when we found out who she really was, it could have been revealed that she was, in fact, deliberately avoiding him but disguising the fact. --[[Special:Contributions/2.101.50.177|2.101.50.177]] 00:17, September 6, 2011 (UTC) | Additional thought: Keeping Mels from meeting the Doctor without alerting the audience might have worked if a (seemingly) comedic point had been made of this "Doctor-obsessed" friend wanting to meet him but somehow always just missing him. The character would then have seemed to be there for the purpose of providing a running joke.
